Can you buy bigger weights for a big barbell?

Question

my barbell is big and it is 27 or 28mm think and my weights are 25mm thick (the hole) can u buy bigger holes in ur weights?

Answer 1

I know what happened. I have two standard barbells. One is an inch thick and the  other 1  1/16 of an inch. Just buy another barbell and all the weights will fit on. Ask for a one inch standard barbell. To be sure measure it. The 1  1/16 is an odd size and is usually found in the 7 ft barbells. It is uncommon and the one inch weights have a hard time getting on and some brands of weights won't go on (like yours).

Answer 2

need to get a 1" barbell instead and that will help.  i think you can get it without getting a whole new set of weights.
